Get started (5 minutes)
Haven't registered your website yet? Go to Flyyer.io and create a project (e.g. website-com).
1. Install the library
This module requires Python >= 3.6.
Install it with Poetry.
poetry add flyyerOr install it with pip.
pip install flyyer2. Get your Flyyer.io smart image link
In your website code (e.g. your landing or product/post view file), set the following:
from flyyer import Flyyer
flyyer = Flyyer(
# Your project slug
project="website-com",
# The current path of your website
path="/path/to/product", # In Django you can use {{ request.get_full_path }}
# (Optional, Recommended) Default or main image for each page
default="/static/image-1.png" # or https://your-site.com/static/image-1.png
)
# Check:
print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/_/__v=1618281823&_def=%2Fstatic%2Fimage-1.png/path/to/product3. Put your smart image link in your <head> tags
You'll get the best results like this:
<meta property="og:image" content="{{ flyyer.href() }}">
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{{ flyyer.href() }}">
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">4. Create a rule for your project
Go to your dashboard here and create a rule like the following:
Voilà!
Advanced usage
Advanced features include:
- Custom variables: additional information for your preview that is not present in your website. [Note: if you need customization you should take a look at Flyyer Render]
- Custom metadata: set custom width, height, resolution, and more (see example).
- Signed URLs.
Here you have a detailed full example for project website-com and path /path/to/product.
from flyyer import Flyyer, FlyyerMeta
flyyer = Flyyer(
# [Required] Your project slug, find it in your dashboard https://www.flyyer.io/dashboard/_/projects/_/integrate.
project="website-com",
# [Recommended] The current path of your website (by default it's `/`).
path="/path/to/product",
# [Optional] In case you want to provide information that is not present in your page set it here.
variables={
"title": "Product name",
"img": "https://flyyer.io/img/marketplace/flyyer-banner.png",
},
# [Optional] Custom metadata for rendering the image. ID is recommended so we provide you with better statistics.
meta=FlyyerMeta(
id="jeans-123", # recommended for better stats
v="12369420123", # specific handler version, by default it's a random number to circumvent platforms' cache,
width=1200,
height=600,
resolution=0.9, # from 0.0 to 1.0
agent="whatsapp", # force dimensions for specific platform
),
)
# Check:
print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/_/__v=1618281823/path/to/productFor signed URLs, just provide your secret (find it in Dashboard > Project > Advanced settings) and choose a strategy (HMAC or JWT).
flyyer = Flyyer(
project="website-com",
path="/path/to/product",
secret="your-secret-key",
strategy="JWT", # or 'HMAC'
)
print(flyyer.href())
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/v2/website-com/jwt-eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJwYXJhbXMiOnsiX19pZCI6ImplYW5zLTEyMyJ9LCJwYXRoIjoiXC9wYXRoXC90b1wvcHJvZHVjdCJ9.X8Vs5SGEA1-3M6bH-h24jhQnbwH95V_G0f-gPhTBTzE?__v=1618283086Flyyer Render
As you probably realized, Flyyer uses the rules defined on your dashboard to decide how to handle every image based on path patterns. It analyses your website to obtain information and then render a content-rich image with no effort. Let's say "Flyyer delivers images based on the content of this route".
Flyyer Render instead requires you to explicitly declare template and variables for the images to render, giving you more control for customization. Let's say "FlyyerRender delivers an image using this template and these explicit variables".
from flyyer import FlyyerRender
flyyer = FlyyerRender(
tenant="tenant",
deck="deck",
template="template",
variables={"title": "Hello world!"},
)
# Use this image in your <head/> tags
url = flyyer.href()
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/render/v2/tenant/deck/template.jpeg?__v=1596906866&title=Hello+world%21Variables can be complex arrays and hashes.
from flyyer import FlyyerRender, FlyyerMeta
flyyer = FlyyerRender(
tenant="tenant",
deck="deck",
template="template",
variables={
"items": [
{ "text": "Oranges", "count": 12 },
{ "text": "Apples", "count": 14 },
],
},
meta=FlyyerMeta(
id="slug-or-id", # To identify the resource in our analytics report
),
)You can use signatures with Flyyer Render like below.
from flyyer import FlyyerRender
flyyer = FlyyerRender(
tenant="tenant",
deck="deck",
template="template",
variables={"title": "Hello world!"},
secret=key,
strategy="HMAC", # JWT
)
# Use this image in your <head/> tags
url = flyyer.href()
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/render/v2/tenant/deck/template.jpeg?__v=d+&title=Hello+world%21&__hmac=1bea6d523496848cIMPORTANT: variables must be serializable.
To decode the URL for debugging purposes:
from urllib.parse import unquote
print(unquote(url))
# > https://cdn.flyyer.io/render/v2/tenant/deck/template.jpeg?title=Hello+world!&__v=123Development
